My story

 

Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

In late 2009 I fly to Kathmandu, with a stop over in Delhi, for a13 day trek to Kala Pattar that overlooks Everest & Everest Base Camp.

I am hoping to raise funds for the SHIVA charity.

This charity supplies funds for various education projects in Nepal & Northpoint School, Bhaktapur, Nepal.

The teachers & principal are devoted to their school & their jobs, but it will have to close if they cannot raise enough moneyto pay staff or buy books & equipment.

The school needs about £1000 a year to help as many of the parents can't afford the fees.

£1000 may not sound much to us but in Nepal it is a fortune.

Mountain Kingdoms, the company I will be traveling with, are hoping to build a science lab & library at a cost of £9000 & your donation will go towards this aim.

SHIVA charity does excellent work in promoting education, something we tend to take for granted, in Nepal & Sri Lanka

More information on SHIVA can be found at http://www.shivacharity.org

Please give generously to this very worthwhile project
